Question 'ringing' brakes..?

Before I start pads are fine, only changed to Pagid 421's 4 months ago and there's plenty of meat left on them (although with the amount of brake dust they give off I'm amazed there's any material left on them..! they are fantastic pads though..!).

Problem (?);

I can hear a light 'ringing' sound at very low speed when driving next to walls etc..! It sounds to me like the pads are brushing the discs, stops the second I apply any kind of pressure to pedal. Also it is an oscillating sound so if it is the disc(s) there running out..!

Doesn't bother me that much really, just wondered if there may be a problem (developing)..?

The pads are always in slight contact with the discs resulting in the noise you describe. Mine do the same but instead sound like a slight swish swish to me, nothing to worry about... just find it a bit annoying.
